The company says the new feature, named Copilot, is a processing engine that will allow users to do things like summarize long emails, draft stories in Word and animate slides in PowerPoint.

Record snowfall and rain have helped to loosen drought’s grip on parts of the western U.S., even pushing it out altogether in California after consecutive dry years. National forecasters and climate experts detailed their spring outlook Thursday, warning that some areas should expect more flooding as the snow begins to melt. Flooding already has inundated parts of California, Nevada and now Arizona. In the upper Midwest, above average snowpack has forecasters warning of elevated flood risks along the Mississippi River from Minnesota south to Missouri. Still, for a West that has struggled with long-term drought, forecasters say all the moisture isn't enough to make a noticeable dent in the nation's largest reservoirs on the Colorado River.
The company behind the ChatGPT chatbot has rolled out its latest artificial intelligence model, called GPT-4, in the next step for a technology that’s caught the world’s attention. San Francisco-based OpenAI says GPT-4 is more reliable, creative and can handle “more nuanced instructions” than its predecessor, GPT-3.5, which is the system that ChatGPT was built on. GPT-4 can be fed both text and images that it uses to come up with answers. Unlike ChatGPT’s fixed tone, users can customize GPT-4 by asking for responses in the style of a Shakespearean pirate, for example. OpenAI have warned users to be careful, saying GPT-4 is “still not fully reliable” because it “hallucinates” facts and makes reasoning errors.
